A great collection of stories !
There is something for everyone in this collection of immigrant brides, Irish, Cajun, British, Spanish... This was awesome learning some things I didn't know before. Plus I found a couple authors that I had not read before. I would definitely recommend putting this on your summer TBR pile. It is a great read to take you lots of places and times without ever having to leave your front door.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing in exchange for my honest feedback, the thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Great mythological story
For anyone who enjoys mythology, thus is a great book. You get to know some of the gods and goddesses from Greek mythology. The only thing I found a little unbelievable was parts if the love story between Than and Therese, although it was lovely to read as a young girl fell in love with the Hod of death, I sometimes forgot that she was supposed to only be 15 as some of it was written as though she was an adult. I would give it 3.5 stars overall as it was a fun little read!

3.5 stars.
I liked the storyline--as in the arguments and bickering between our two main characters--and how they finally just came around to the idea of being together. It was rather sweet once it got going.
I just didn't understand the "manties" thing. I know people have fetishes but I'm not sure if it's something that would appeal to me to read about. I found it a little strange.
Nevertheless, I liked the characters. They both wanted the other but misconceptions and behaviour got in the way for the past...ten years or so?

DNF at 64%.
It seems I lost interest in the story once our main characters finally got together. Waiting to see how much of the story was going to be taken up by the 'will they, won't they' storyline kept me intrigued but I can't say I was invested enough to carry on once they were.
The style was a little crazy, as were the characters at times, and I found it a little hard to get into. I didn't gel with it. Some bits were fun, others completely whacky.
P.S. I loved the sound of The White Rabbit and Safira.

(Forgive typos I'm reviewing on my tablet)
I was ecstatic when this was first announced. Honestly it's been on my to buy list for months. Thanks to the pandemic, however, I never got the chance.
So when I found this while browsing Libby for a quick read I grinned like the Cheshire cat and checked it out pronto.
I wasn't disappointed. The art makes it seem like the characters jumped out of an episode.
The story is solid it just...
Ended too quickly I guess?
I mean the ending was good but too fast for me.

This series has really stepped up now, I am so excited to read the next one it seems like it will be epic.
I loved this installment, the characters were great as was the coming of age angst and final battle. The valgs and continued mystery to the whole plot were really great and pretty scary.
My only criticism is the relationship between Celeana and Rowan, who is suddenly forgiven without much of a lash back from Celeana, which to me goes against her character. I also found the blood oath bit repetitive.
